A base assembly for a ball display case includes a base configured to support the display case on a surface. A pedestal is supported by the base and configured to support the ball in the display case. The pedestal includes a platform for seating the ball in the display case. The platform includes a spring configured to yield when contacted by the ball in the display case.

A lid for a container is provided and includes a lid body that is configured to be securely coupled to the container. The lid body has a base portion and a flange portion that engages the container. The base portion has an integral upstanding candle holder that extends upwardly from the base portion and includes a hollow center section configured to receive and hold a candle in an upright position.

A container and methods of manufacturing and operating the same are provided where the container has a cap that is removable yet childproof. The cap is positioned in a tubular body, and the cap has a generally smooth or continuous upper surface to reduce or eliminate surfaces or edges for a child to grasp. To operate the cap, a disc in the center of the cap is pushed below a lip, and a user grasps the lip to pull the cap from the tubular body. The force needed to press the disc away from the lip is low enough for an adult but too high for a child. Moreover, the cap forms an interference fit with the tubular body with enough friction force to prevent the cap from falling out of the tubular body but is low enough that the cap can be pulled from the tubular body.

A dish with a lid is provided, including a dish body and a lid body, wherein the lid body is disposed on the dish body and snap-fitted with it; the dish body and the lid body form a storage cavity there-between; and the dish body has average heights of 10 to 60 mm; an open edge of the dish body is provided with an inclined folded edge which extends upward; the outer edge of the inclined folded edge is provided with a dish body edge engagement portion; an open edge of the lid body is provided with a horizontal folded edge which horizontally extends outward; the outer edge of the horizontal folded edge is provided with a lid body edge engagement portion matched with the dish body edge engagement portion; and the dish body edge engagement portion is embedded in the lid body edge engagement portion.

A one-piece molded food container having a lid, a base and a tamper-evident hinged element connecting the lid and base.

The present invention relates to a container and a lid for food products, wherein the lid produces audible and tactile feedback when the container is closed with the lid. The invention further relates to a method for forming a lid for engagement with a container for food products. The container with a lid comprises a body with a neck surrounding an opening; at least one thread on the neck; at least one thread on the lid for engaging the at least one thread on the neck; and an engagement mechanism on the lid to secure the lid to the body when the lid is in a fully engaged position. Audible and tactile feedback are produced when the lid moves into the fully engaged position.

A locking mechanism for container and lid thereof may include a container and a lid, and the peripheral edge of the upper opening of the container has a first periphery edge. At least two first coupling portions, which are located at symmetric positions, and at least two second coupling portions, which are located at symmetric positions, outwardly protrude from the first periphery edge respectively. The lid comprises a second peripheral edge at the outer periphery thereof, and the inner surface of the second peripheral edge is configured to couple with and cover the first peripheral edge of the container. At least two first connecting portions respectively protrude from the second peripheral edge at symmetric positions, and at least two second connecting portions, which are located at symmetric positions, outwardly protrude from the second periphery edge respectively.

An example lid assembly can include a lid and a slider. The lid can include a wall defining a recess. The slider can be configured to slide in the recess and can be configured to move between a closed position where the slider covers the opening to aid in preventing spilling of contents of the container and an opened position where the slider uncovers the opening such that the contents of the container can be consumed. The slider can be configured to be removable from the lid and can be replaced back on the lid. Additionally, the slider can be configured to lock into place on the recess in both the closed position and the opened position.

A removable container for powder or liquid includes a housing, a spilling mechanism and a bypass element. The housing hangs within a bottle and is capable of storing powder within the bottle while being sealed from a precursor liquid held within the bottle. The spilling mechanism enables the powder to spill out of the housing and into the precursor liquid and the bypass element provides the precursor liquid out of the bottle without mixing with the stored powder.

An apparatus includes a tool operable to releasably join a metallic end closure to a metallic container. In one embodiment, the tool is configured to form a thread in the closure and the container. The tool may optionally crimp the closure to the container. Once sealed, the container can be opened by rotating the closure in an opening direction. The closure can subsequently re-close the container by rotating the closure in a closing direction.
